My own OC and Cato from the Hunger Games
Chapter 4:
I slowly open my eyes and glance around the living room, the moonlight streaming in through the curtains. I sit up and rub my temples, thinking about the past hours. I shutter and lay back down. The pillows form around my head as I stare up at the ceiling trying to get the memories out. Letting out my breath I sit up, not being able to stay in the house anymore, I leave shutting the door behind me. I start to run for no apparent reason I just run and run, passing dark houses, dogs barking. Soon I reach the riverbank and sit down twirling my finger in the cold water. I glance around and notice a flicker of light a few miles up river, kids dancing around and drinking. I shake my head and roll my eyes. "What do we have here?" I hear a snicker behind me. I spin my head around and see a couple of kids from training. "Nothing, I was just leaving." I smile standing up. "Why?" One says, I cant make out there faces but I can make out her voice. "Come on Lisa, you see me leaving, go back to your little party." I say stepping backwards. "Funny, you know we saw something over here and well we need more training, don't we guys." She laughs as they move forward. I stiffen, "Come on, really?" They move forward and im able to now make out faces, Lisa, Bruce, Andrew, Martin, Lauren and Louise. I take a deep breath and cross my arms, "Come on guys, mess with each other." They laugh as Lisa lunges for me, I take a step to the side and she plunges into the shallow water. They laugh as Lisa gets out of the water, "Shut up! And fucking grab her!" She spits. I turn and run before someone grabs my arm I spin and punch whoever it was, Louise I think I hear him growl and I get pushed to the ground. I look up and see a evil smirk on Martin's face and he comes closer to me. I gasp as he grabs my hair and slowly lifts me up, I let out a scream before his hand smacks over my mouth. I feel tears coming as Lisa slowly undoes my bun and wraps her hands around my hair and pulls me back. She laughs, "So I guess Cato didn't finish you hey." She says running her hand along my cheek, "And no one can save you." I feel a tear slide down my cheek and know there going to kill me. Martin's hand is still clenched to my mouth. I glance around as a Lauren, Bruce, and Andrew leave. "Where you pussies going?" Lisa hisses pulling me to the ground. "Come on Lisa your drunk, lets go back and party." Lauren moans grabbing Andrew's arm and walking away. I shut my eyes tight and grab Martin's hand digging my nails is. He rips his hand away and I turn around before he hits me. Everything goes blurry and I crawl. Lisa laughs and kicks me in the side, I cry out in pain before she turns me over and sits on me running one nail up my neck. "What a fool he is, for not finishing you, nice mark you gave him though." She purrs wrapping her hand around my chin and digging her nails in. I feel more tears run down my cheeks as Martin and Louise chuckle, "Come on Lisa." Lisa glares at them, "Leave then! Im finishing her!" They shrug and walk away, why don't they stop her! I wrap my hands around her arms. "Trying to fight back blondie?" She smiles before punching me. I fight back clawing at her face, I feel my fingers grab her cheek and I rip down. She hisses slapping me across the face, "You fight like a girl!" I mutter as she slaps me again. "Bitch!" She hisses punching me multiply times in the stomach. "What are you doing?" I hear a mutter from the back. Lisa stops and looks away before I push her off. "No you don't." She giggles grabbing me and punching me again, I groan and lay still. "Lisa! Stop!" I hear the voice again; things are going blurry and dark. I feel Lisa get thrown off me and I lay there, expecting another blow. "What are you doing!" Lisa screams. "Finishing her!" The voice says. I close my eyes as Lisa laughs, "Do it." "Not here, people will find her." The voice replies. Lisa laughs, "Ill tell the guys." I hear her run off. The ground crunches and I open my eyes. "Please…. No." I mutter tears streaming down my face, I feel myself getting picked up and the world goes dark.
I open my eyes and jump up, I'm in my room, 'How the fuck did I get in my room?' I think looking around. I jump as I see a figure in the doorway and sit upwright wrapping my arms around myself and closing my eyes. "Mel! Melissa! Its okay!" the voice says. I feel tears streaming down my face as I open them there is Cato sitting on my bed and looking at me. "What you wanted me home so you could finish me?" I cry. He shakes his head and holds my face in his hands examining my face. "Its bad isn't it." I cry breaking down. He shakes his head and tilts my chin up, "Beside a good smack from Martin, Lisa didn't do any major damage." I nod as he lets me go, "Why did you… why did you save me?" I mutter looking at my bed sheets. "Because, I did." he mutters placing his hand on my knee. " I nod and look at him, "Thank you." He smiles slightly and gets up, "Don't mention it." He crosses his arms and looks around. I pull back the covers and groan he looks at me and shakes his head, "I lied, the only thing Lisa can do is kick!" I nod looking down at my torn tank top and see the shirt had pulled at a little a huge bruise has appeared on my side. I groan and slowly pull my feet to the side of the bed and get up; Cato catches me as I almost fall. I smile slightly at him before wrapping my arms around him in a hug; he chuckles and lets me go, "Your welcome Mel." I nod looking at him and slowly make my way to the bathroom "Don't leave… don't leave me." he nods sitting on my bed and watching as I close the bathroom door. I strip down and throw my clothes into a pile by the sink and turn getting into the shower and turning on the water. The water makes me clench my teeth; I quickly wash my hair and body before turning it off. I step out and wrap a towel around me before realizing I didn't bring clothes in with me, I sigh and open the door, Cato looks and raises his eyebrows before looking away and back again. "I didn't bring clothes in with me." I laugh. He nods before placing his arms on his knees. I slowly walk over to my closet and open it I grab a pair of white lace panties and tighten my towel before pulling them on. Cato snickers and I turn he looks away, "Not funny! Its hard…" I blush grabbing the matching bra and knowing I have to drop the towel to put it on, I know he's watching to see what I do I bite my lip and keep facing my closet before lowering the towel and tighten it around my waist and quickly putting the bra on. I look behind my shoulder and he raises an eyebrow I laugh and quickly grab a pair of pants. "I wouldn't wear pants." Cato mutters. I roll my eyes and look over my shoulder, "And why not?" He laughs, "It will hurt." I nod and place the pants back into my closet, I look around and grab a simple red sundress and unzip the back before sighing "Look away!" Cato laughs, I roll my eyes and drop the towel and throw it to the side and quickly pull the dress up. I turn and look at Cato he shrugs and looks at me. I close my eyes and try and do up the dress, "Help?" He rolls his eyes and stands turning me around and slides his hand down my back and onto the zipper, slowly he pulls it up letting his finger trail up. I shiver as he closes the dress; I close my eyes and breathe in and out slowly "Thanks again." He laughs slightly, "Your welcome." I turn and pull my wet hair back before quickly pulling it into a messy bun on my head. He sits back down on my bed and I look at him not bothering to say anything. I slowly walk forward and place my hands on his shoulders. He sighs and places his hands on my waist; I crawl onto his lab and rest my head in the crook of his neck breathing slowly. "Its okay Mel… no one can hurt you." He says holding me against him, I nod and kiss his cheek before laying my head back down. He laughs pulling me back and placing his hands on the sides of my face. I flinch as he brings our faces together, I turn my head and he kisses the corner of my lips. "I cant…" I mutter pulling away. He nods holding me against him in a soothing hug. I close my eyes and sigh as he lays me on the bed, I grab his hand and pull him down, he lays beside me and moves a couple of flyaway's from my face. I look into his eyes and smile, "Stay with me?" He nods running his hand down my cheek. I sigh placing my hands onto his chest and sliding closer. "Its okay Mel, go to sleep." He mutters into my hair and kisses my forehead. I nod and close my eyes before I quickly drift off to sleep knowing nothing will happen.
